Thomas Dixon (1819 - July 25, 1886[1]) was a Presbyterian architect born in Wilmington, Delaware and one of the founders of the Baltimore chapter of AIA.[2] He was the father of minister Thomas Freeman Dixon, an 1893 graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary. He partnered with his brother, James M. Dixon, from 1851 until James's death in 1863.[3] In 1871, he partnered with another well-known Baltimore architect Charles L. Carson for some time doing business from their offices at 117 Baltimore Street as Thomas Dixon and Charles L. Carson[4] until sometime before 1877 when the partnership was dissolved.[5] In 1827, he was elected Honorary Academician at the National Academy of Design.
He was married to Rebecca Howard, with whom he had one son: Rev. L. Freeman Dixon.[6] He was living at 253 North Eutaw Street in Baltimore at the time of his death.[7]
